In 2003, Pierre-Henry Servajean created ARMALITH®, a specialty fabric obtained by combining cotton fibers with UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) fiber - previously used only in aerospace, military and off-shores industries.

In 2015, ARMALITH®2.0 was born - softer, stretchier, more technologically advanced, and more fashionable - leading to Pierre-Henry’s new project: BOLID'STER®.

JEAN'STER

WITH A CLASSIC FIT - AND AVAILABLE IN STONE WASH, RAW DARK INDIGO, OR BLACK - JEAN’STER IS TIMELESS. THESE JEANS ARE AS COMFORTABLE AS THEY ARE LONG-LASTING.

JENY'STER

WITH A PERFECTLY SCULPTED FIT AND HIGH QUALITY MANUFACTURING, THE RAW INDIGO JENY'STER IS 'PROTECTIVE CHIC' FOR FEMALE BIKERS AND ADVENTURERS.

RIDE'STER

MODERN TECH MEETS VINTAGE APPEAL. REMOVABLE CE PROTECTORS & EXCEPTIONAL RESISTANCE MAKE THE RAW INDIGO RIDE'STER THE BEST ALLY FOR THE DARING.

"These pants are the most comfortable ones I own and I can ride with confidence knowing they are protecting me so well...they are also by far the most stylish motorcycle pants I have as well, when off my bike I don't worry about how I look as they look just like normal pants!! Love love love them so much!"

Cara B.

“My BOLID’STERs are so comfortable, more comfortable than my well-worn blue jeans...I just love my BOLID’STER Jean’sters. The comfort level is off the charts and they breath like regular denim. Glad to know I have extra protection if I need it.”

Ed S.

"...for the Jean'ster, I am blown away! These are made so well, comfortable, and stylish. These friggin' rock dude! Will definitely pick up some more for myself in the future and spread the word to my fellow riders."

Imagine fashionable jeans protecting motorbike and scooter riders in case of a fall on the road.

Contrary to other technologies (Kevlar®-lined jeans, leather, ballistic polyamide, etc.) this is the first and only single layer of fabric that provides high-performance protection in case of abrasive impact (20m of slide on the road without a hole under 13595-2 certification conditions) and provides the comfort and quality of the most beautiful and fashionable jeans - even in summer, even off the bike.

BOLID'STER gear provides both the comfort and the look of traditional jeans - but with these jeans, you might crash a bike and walk away still looking good.

LIGHTNESS

UHMWPE is the lightest of all performance fibers. Its density (0.95) enables the fabric to float while other material’s density is over 1.6. Steel represents a density of 7.

MECHANICAL RESISTANCE

UHMWPE has unique properties; it is strong and resistant enough to be used in bulletproof jackets (previously manufactured from KEVLAR), in mooring lines for offshore platforms (made from steel in the past), military armors, or spacecraft tether…

ABRASION RESISTANCE

Understanding the mechanics of abrasion and what contributes to abrasion resistance in concrete is hard. In general, materials having a good resistance to compression perform better. For protection gloves in workwear industry, standards have been created in order to compare different materials (see the below charts). UHMWPE is from far the best material compared to other fibers - or even leather.

UV RESISTANCE

High-performance fabrics do have their weaknesses. For example, long exposure to ultraviolet rays will cause loss of performances in KEVLAR fibers. This phenomenon will be emphasized if the moisture level rises. Shall we put our trust in a fiber – originally developed for our protection – if it loses its properties when exposed to the sun, or when washed? UHMWPE provides 0% moisture retention. Therefore, the fiber keeps its performances despite UV exposures, sweat and cleaning cycles.
